Accessibility Challenges in North Korea

On a lengthy North Korea visit, a photographer noticed only two wheelchairs, raising concerns about the treatment and visibility of disabled persons. Is it a lack of resources, or are the disabled undervalued due to labor incapabilities?

The scarcity of wheelchairs in North Korea might stem from financial constraints rather than indifference. It’s essential to hope for and facilitate increased support for disabled individuals in the country, prioritizing their well-being and integration.
